I've got to add a page-specific button, to turn it on and off. Poking at it now, as I hadn't thought of that purpose :) I think that requires "tabs" permissions though, which warns everyone it has access to "your entire browsing history".

edit: yep, it will. I'll get on it, though.

edit2: think I should have the switch just show names? Or the points as well?

edit3: Another idea: double-click on text, and if it matches a name, it'll reveal and highlight. How's that sound?

You could embed a link into the page and/or add a keyboard shortcut.

Another idea: don't censor the author & the user's own posts.

Your own should be left alone (are they hidden?). Author I think I'll leave for a future version, where I'll have loads of options (what to hide, when, etc), and I'll add that to the list.

Maybe show censored names until the vote, either G*x or even User 1, User 2 etc.

Definitely further down the line if I do, but I'll keep it in mind.

What I'm doing right now is really simple - I'm just tagging the names / points with CSS classes, and then hiding. Up-voting changes the comment's class. Clicking the page-action removes / re-makes the CSS rules. Re-writing and being able to restore means storing the data somewhere, quite a bit more complex than just labeling the DOM.
